OK. I couldn't get OpenGL to work with my computer, so I think to format / reinstall XP (I had read that Voodoo video cards leave files/settings that are otherwise impossible to remove). So I reboot and delete the C: partition (with the XP installer). Then the XP CD messes up,and I go back to 2000. So put in the 2000 CD and reboot. It says it can't detect my hard drives. So I take out my hard drive (hot swappable SCSI) put it in another computer. There's a Logical partition that XP install left, so I delete it. I try again to install 2000, but it still can't find my hard drive. So I use FDISK and make a new partition and format it. Still doesn't work. I take the drive out again and format the partition to NTFS, and it still doesn't work. I just tried the XP CD, and it does see my hard drives. I have 3 in, I've tried it with only one, it still doesn't work. I'm going to try to install XP again. Can anyone help?

You need to install the drivers for the SCSI controller. Keep an eye at the bottom of the screen when it say "Press F6 to install a third party RAID or SCSI driver". Without a driver it won't see jack.

Could you help me find these drivers? I've got a Compaq ML370.

Motherboard: ServerWorks 3.0 LE
Hard Drive: Atlas 10K 9.1 gb Hot Swappable

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Nevermind, I found it.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Fooziex on 01/21/02 00:27 AM.</EM></FONT></P>
